Proposed Revision of Class E Airspace; Red Dog, AK, 30829-30831 [E8-11971]

Download as PDF 30829 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 104 / Thursday, May 29, 2008 / Proposed Rules rfrederick on PRODPC75 with PROPOSALS request to the Federal Aviation Administration, Office of Air Traffic Airspace Management, ATA–400, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591 or by calling (202) 267–8783. Communications must identify both docket numbers for this notice. Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future NPRMs should contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267–9677, to request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application procedure. The Proposal The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR part 71), which would revise the Class E airspace at the Gulkana Airport, in Gulkana, AK. The intended effect of this proposal is to revise Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at the Gulkana Airport, Gulkana, AK. The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance Branch has amended two SIAPs for the Gulkana Airport. The amended SIAPs are (1) the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS) Runway (RWY) 15, Amendment (Amdt) 2 and (2) the RNAV (GPS) RWY 33, Amdt 2. Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. above the surface in the Gulkana Airport area would be revised by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing the instrument procedures at the Gulkana Airport, Gulkana, AK. The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document would be published subsequently in the Order. The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It, therefore —(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:11 May 28, 2008 Jkt 214001 rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA’s authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency’s authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because it proposes to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain aircraft executing instrument procedures at the Gulkana Airport, AK, and represents the FAA’s continuing effort to safely and efficiently use the navigable airspace.

The agency is proposing to require that labeling include a summary of the risks of using a drug during pregnancy and lactation and a discussion of the data supporting that summary. The labeling would also include relevant clinical information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy and/or lactation. The proposal would eliminate the current pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X. The ‘‘Labor and delivery’’ subsection would be eliminated because information on labor and delivery is included in the proposed ‘‘Pregnancy’’ subsection. The proposed rule is intended to create a consistent format for providing information about the effects of a drug on pregnancy and lactation that will be useful for decisionmaking by women of childbearing age and their health care providers.

FAA's Office of Rulemaking, (202) 267-9677, to request a copy of 
Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 
System, which describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal 
Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which would revise the Class E airspace 
at the Red Dog Airport, in Red Dog, AK. The intended effect of this 
proposal is to revise Class E airspace upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 
ft. above the surface to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) 
operations at the Red Dog Airport, Red Dog, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance 
Branch has developed one Special SIAP and one Special textual ODP for 
the Red Dog Airport. Additionally, one Special SIAP is being amended. 
The new SIAP is the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System 
(GPS) Runway (RWY) 03, Special, Original (Orig). The new SIAP is the 
Nondirectional Beacon (NDB)/Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) RWY 03, 
Special, Amendment (Amdt) 1. These procedures are funded privately and 
are not published in the U.S. Terminal Procedures Alaska publication. 
Class E controlled airspace extending upward from 700 ft. and 1,200 ft. 
above the surface in the Red Dog Airport area would be revised by this 
action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to contain aircraft 
executing the instrument procedures at the Red Dog Airport, Red Dog, 
AK.
    The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot 
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North 
American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 
foot transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 
7400.9R, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 
2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by 
reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in 
this document would be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves 
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. 
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the 
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that 
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is 
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's 
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of 
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing 
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable 
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because 
it proposes to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain 
aircraft executing instrument procedures at the Red Dog Airport, AK, 
and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently 
use the navigable airspace.
